A Note from John: This is the first post for Tabitha. So, we want to welcome Tabitha to the Pure DWTS family. As you’ll soon find from this post she’s a real fan of DWTS. Enjoy!

1. The Paso-Doble
This dance just gets me every time. It doesn’t matter if it’s performed great or if just stinks. It always gets my heart going pitter-patter. The passion, the anger, the “kill” at the end…definitely my favorite.

2. The New Dances (Charleston, Bolero, Lambada, and the Two-Step)
I’ve heard of all of these but I’m not completely familiar with most of these dances. I can’t wait to see what choreography the pros will come up with though.

3. The Costumes
Okay, I know that they can be a little strange sometimes but aren’t we all secretly waiting to see just how crazy and umm revealing they are? Is someone going to rip their shirt off or wear bright red silk or almost have a “wardrobe malfunction?” It’s part of the fun.

4. The Premiere
Nothing else compares to that first night…except maybe the Finale.

5. The First Celebrity to Be Voted Off
Not one of the pros or the celebrities want this…but it has to be someone. And let me say with 16 couples maybe it’s a good thing that they go.

Ok, what are you most excited to see on the next season of Dancing with the Stars?

Welcome, Tabitha!! The Paso is also my favorite, for all the same reasons you have stated. 🙂 I’m all about men in tight pants, too.

I am NOT looking forward to the new dances. Are these traditional ballroom?? Do we need to add dances that most of the pros aren’t familiar with? The Latin specialist pros (which is most of them, except Jonathan, I think) should be able to handle the Lambada and the Bolero (I think – I have no idea) and the Quickstep often has elements of a Charleston….but the two-step??? Come on! I’m a fan of the show – but are we jumping the shark here? Save the ‘non-ballroom/non-latin’ for the freestyle. Or SYTYCD.

Bolero can stay. It’s an actual ballroom dance is competed all the time. But the others? NEED TO GO NOW! Charleston is already done on the show. It’s a set of moves related to swing! It’s used in swing, quickstep, and even jive all the time on the show. Shouldn’t have it’s own dance. I don’t know about Lambada as its also NOT a competition dance! And two step? I’m curious to see if this is Night club two step or country two step. If it’s Night club, Lacey’s going to have an unfair advantage as her dad pretty much invented that dance and since it’s not a competition dance shouldn’t be here! If it’s country two step it also shouldn’t be here as NO-ONE DOES IT ANYMORE! UG I’m a social dancer but these need to go. Salsa, etc. They shouldn’t be part of DWTS. They’re not competed in ballroom competitions.

Lambada is like salsa,i don’t really like this dance ,and bolero is boring i don’t like at all, to be honest ,i didn’t like any of this new dances and i really like season 7 and 8 new dances (salsa,jitterbug ,WCS,huscle,lindy hop and my favorite dance from season 8 argentine tango)

i really hope that they keep the argentine tango , is way better than the tango , sometimes the tango is so boring but the argentine tango is amazing ,has way more drama,i love, is my second favorite dance ( my favorite is the paso).

can’t wat for joanna krupa to smack down derek for her poor performance or tell the judges off like she did T>O> i guess that’s why she’s on the show. hopefully doony Osmonmd will stick aroiund to bring some levity to the shopw. why does tony get the old cougars who can only make it so far. how will max and debby mazor tempers match and why did cheryl get stuck with tom delay wasn’t wayne newton bad enough

I’ll stick with just happy to see ballroom on TV again. Even if there weren’t a competition aspect, I’d love to watch the show just for the performances. I also love seeing raw dancers doing things they never thought possible. That’s beautiful.

I look at it this way…they have to add new things to the show to keep it interesting. I personally look forward to new styles. Plus it would be nice to see them mix it up a bit…instead of only seeing two different styles in the night…how 3 or four different ones. I can only watch so many foxtrots in one night.

Amanda, you may get your wish. Watch the video I just posted from Pop TV. Weirdness. Plus I’ve heard at least six different dances mentioned by the pros and the celebs.

The “new things” they add to the show are the celebrities – or it should be. I would hate to miss a Derek Paso Doble for a Bolero. Or a Cheryl Tango for a two step. :::shudder:::

Mandy – I like the group and Team dances too, but my favorite thing of all is a great Pro Dance – with NO shots of musical guests!! I get a thrill seeing all those male pros coming out of a studio without their partners – and Derek/Mark both tweeted about group/pro dance. Yay!!
